I Am The Lycan’s Luna

••• Kyson’s POV •••

“Kyson, you’ve been so busy with Aleena; the business is going to suffer if you keep going like this,” Liam teased as he handed me a stack of documents.

I rolled my eyes at him. “What do I need you for, then?” I appointed him as my Alpha stand-in while I kept busy with the plans to attack Andre. Everyone knew him as the Alpha of the Crimson Blood Pack, even though I was still the one making some major business decisions.

“You’re right. Now our plans are as good as completed. When are we gonna carry it out?” Liam was calm, yet the vicious eagerness I felt when I thought of killing Andre was evident in his aura, too.

“Soon… Very soon…” His enthusiasm was rubbing on me, too. How I wished I could teleport to that motherfucker Andre’s pack right now and tear his limbs away, but I still needed to wait for Aleena to be ready. Once she mastered her elemental magic and was confident about it, then we’d attack.

About her bloodlust… It might be good for her not to be able to control it. Let’s see how Rose would react once Aleena became uncontrollable.

I would have the opportunity to see and smell their fears before we tore them into pieces, and that thought made my claws itch.

“At long last, you show your true color again,” Liam laughed. “Ever since Aleena appeared, you became a bit docile.”

I was about to retort to him when I heard a mindlink being opened. “Alpha, we are being attacked! They have come for us!”

I recognized that voice. It was the guard I had placed at Colton’s pack for easy communication.

His words startled Liam and me. He had accidentally mindlinked everyone. Liam and I shared a look. Dammit! Andre has made his move?!

“How’s the situation?” I asked through the mindlink.

“We are outnumbered!” the guard was breathless. It was clear he was fighting as he mindlinked me.

“How many?” I asked.

“Both the Silver Moon and Glowing Stone Packs,” his reply came fast.

That many?

“Is Andre there?” I asked the most crucial question.

“No, but the other two Alphas are here. Alpha Lucas is on his way.” His words confirmed my suspicion.

“We need to go,” I told Liam and stood up. This wasn’t a war. Maybe Andre just wanted to check our strength. No matter, we need to send reinforcement. I would not let Colton fight them alone.

Before I could mindlink her, Aleena appeared in my doorway. “Kyson, what’s happening? Why would they attack Colton’s pack?”

“It’s nothing,” I responded calmly. It really was nothing. I needed to go there only because there were two other Alphas, and our pack was closer in location to Colton’s than Lucas’s.

“Are you going?” Aleena asked with worry in her voice and expression.

“Yes, but yo-”

“I’m going with you,” she cut me off before I could tell her she didn’t need to come.

“You just stay here, alright? It’s not a big deal. I’ll just bring ten of our warriors and Liam. The rest will be here.” I wouldn’t want her to be in danger before the war. Heck, I’d not even want her to be in the war if I could help it.

“But I wa-”

“No buts, Aleena. Trust your mate, alright?” I patted her head.

She still wanted to reject my idea, so I sealed her lips with mine, silencing her with a kiss. When I pulled back, she was dazed, which was the effect I wanted to achieve.

“Be good, alright?” I pecked her luscious lips again and turned to go with Liam before she could say anything.

I quickly mindlinked ten of our strongest warriors and summoned them to go to Colton’s pack.

“You sure you want to leave her here?” Liam asked as we walked hastily toward his car.

“It’s just a small piece of cake.” My words referred to the situation at Colton’s pack. If my guess was correct, this was just a form of provocation from Andre’s side other than to check our strength and number.

Still, I wouldn’t want to show Aleena’s strength yet. I did not doubt Colton’s pack’s strength. Colton alone could annihilate half of the Silver Moon pack, the reason why I only brought ten of my strongest warriors.

“Kyson Night, be careful,” I heard Aleena’s voice in my mind.

“We will,” I promised her.

Liam drove fast, and we arrived at Colton’s pack in no time. We shifted and ran toward the place of commotion to join the fight.

Many werewolves were fighting against each other, but it wasn’t too chaotic. It seemed my thought was right. Colton’s pack’s members could easily eliminate half of the enemy. No matter what, the survival instincts of the rogues were stronger; coupled with the protective spells Witch Lily and Aleena had put and activated on each member, Colton’s pack could easily win if faced with one pack only.

“Let’s go,” I commanded, and Liam and I separated.

I located Ace and saw him fighting with another Alpha – Alpha of the Silver Moon Pack. I nearly laughed aloud, seeing how Ace had an evil smirk on his face and was taunting him. No need to worry about him, then.

“Alpha.” I heard the voice of my warrior’s commander. They had arrived.

I looked at my ten warriors and ordered, “Go and help them.”

My ten warriors dispersed to help with the fight, and I scanned the not-so-chaotic scene to search for the other Alpha. Where is he?

“Helppp! Help me!” Suddenly, I heard a cry for help from the direction of the rouges’ housing complex, and it sounded like the voice of a little girl. Shit!

“Night!” I let Night take over, and he crouched low, running with his best speed toward the source of the voice.

There were only three werewolves – an Alpha and two lowly wolves surrounding the little girl when we reached the location.

Night growled, and the three wolves turned their heads simultaneously. Night went straight toward one of the lowly wolves and the other, tearing their limbs apart easily.

Next, he turned toward the Alpha of the Glowing Stone Pack and lunged toward him.

“Help me!” the little girl cried again.

Night turned his head and saw another wolf going toward the little girl. In this situation, saving the girl was better than going for the Alpha. Night moved with his Lycan’s speed and easily tore the wolf’s limbs as he did to the other two.

He quickly turned to the space where the Alpha of the Glowing Stone Pack had been standing before but found out he was gone.

“Coward,” Night muttered before going to the little girl and asking, “Are you okay?”

“I’m fine. Thank you for saving me, Night,” the little girl, who still remembered Night from Colton’s introduction, answered.

“Go back to your house and don’t go out,” Night ordered the little girl who scrambled away toward one of the houses.

“Let’s go back,” I told him once we saw the little girl enter her house safely.

Night ran back to where the main fight occurred, but we were surprised to see that the fight had stopped. There were only Colton and his pack and Liam and my ten warriors among the carcasses of werewolves, and they had shifted back to their human forms.

I shifted back to my human form and joined them. “We won so easily?” I asked Colton and Liam, who were standing side-by-side.

“No, they flee,” Liam answered as he handed me clean clothes.

“They flee?” I asked as I wore my clothes.

“Yeah. It was quite strange. Did you fight the Alpha of the Glowing Stone Pack?” Colton asked.

“He was trying to kill a little girl but fled before Night could get to him,” I told him.

“He came here but fled straight away after he appeared.” Colton seemed to be thinking of something.

It was indeed strange. Why would they stop attacking? And just as I arrived? Were they really that cowardly?

“Colton!” We saw Lucas rush toward us and pull Colton into his embrace. “You okay?” He checked Colton’s body for any wounds.

Colton rolled his eyes. “I’m fine. You worry too much.”

Seeing as Lucas had arrived, I spoke up. “I’ll get going first.”

“Yeah. Go back to Aleena. She must be worried sick. We can take care of the situation here,” Lucas answered.

“I’ll leave three warriors to take care of the corpses,” I told them before commanding three of my warriors to stay behind and turned to go back with Liam.

I kept thinking about the reason why they fled. There were still many of them alive; why would they escape? The fight wasn’t enough to provoke us, and it looked like they made it easy, so it wasn’t to check our strength too. Then why would they…

Shit!

“Aleena!” I quickly mindlinked her, but she didn’t respond.

“Night, try Celia!” I commanded him and asked Hector about Aleena.

“I’ll go see her,” Hector replied.

“Liam, drive faster!” I ordered, and he floored the accelerator.

“Aleena!” I tried mindlinking her again, to no avail. It’s dinner time now; is she asleep? If she were awake, she would be having dinner with Hector and the others, but Hector said Aleena wasn’t with them.

“Alpha, we can’t find Luna,” Hector told me through the mindlink.

A foreboding feeling suddenly settled in my heart. Could the attack in Colton’s pack only be a form of diversion so they could take Aleena?

“Search again!” I ordered him.

Shit, shit, shit! We had forgotten that Aleena was their aim the last time they sneaked in.

I jumped out and ran toward the pack’s main house when we reached the pack’s border. Ignoring the guards, Beta and Gammas, who stood waiting, I ran toward her room.

There were scents of other werewolves in her room mixing with her scent. I saw a bullet on the floor and picked it up. Wolfsbane…

They got her! Fuck! I punched the wall.

“Alpha!” Beta Christine shouted, and I turned around to see Liam, Christine, Hector, Lisa, and the border guards in the doorway.

“She’s gone! Why the fuck didn’t any of you protect her?!” Night had taken over and roared at them.

“We didn’t see anyone suspicious coming in,” one of the guards said with his head bowed down.

His words reminded us of the last time the intruders came in. It was the same situation – no one suspicious was seen.

Was the attack on Colton’s pack really a diversion so they could take Aleena away? But why?

“We’re going to Andre’s pack now. I’m going to save her.” I tried to exit the room, but they all were blocking me, and Liam’s hand was around my wrist, stopping me.

“Let me go!” Night and I roared at him, and my Alpha’s aura rolled off my body.

“Alpha, you have to think clearly. This was obviously their plan. I think we need to call Alpha Lucas and Alpha Colton before we attack them,” Liam said with a quivering voice.Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

“Let. Me. Go!” I roared again.

“Alpha, if you go there recklessly, not only will you endanger yourself, but you will also endanger Luna’s life too,” Christine told me, and her words calmed Night and me down a bit.

I shook Liam’s hand away and took my phone. “Colton, come here and bring Lucas with you. They got Aleena,” I told him once the call was connected, and I hung up without waiting for his answer.

I went to my study and waited for Colton and Lucas there.

“Aleena…” I tried mindlinking her again, even though I knew it would be useless.

How could I fall for such a cheap trick of diversion? Fuck, fuck, fuck!

“I’m going to tear his limbs away the moment I lay my eyes on him,” Night growled. He was as furious, anxious, and worried as I was.

Never had I felt so much fear for someone’s safety in my life or felt like a failure.

And for the first time in my life, I prayed to the Moon Goddess. Please let her be safe… I can’t live if she is not alive…
